Photographer's Note

A capture I made in Romania in 2004. I don't know if she was tired and sitting there or just a beggar. Anyhow she -most probably the mother of this boy in her lap- was not too happy.
One of the many unhappy and hopeless young women of this merciless world !

So significant portrait shot by B&W color!
Her eye seems to have deep proficient meaning.
Very well considered framework are admirable indeed. Clear presentation is so marvelous as usual. Thanks for sharing with your finest posting, have a good Sunday and best regards,

Mesutcum,
It's a very effective and poignant photo, a good bit of photojournalism. It is especially appropriate to depict the image in B&W. I have been on the coast of Romania, mostly to Constanta, but never made it inland to Bucharest.

Hello Mesut! An image that has strong emotions! Can the expression and the dress does not refer to the misery but there is no happy people everywhere who are deprived agree with your note:"One of the many unhappy and hopeless young women of this merciless world!"
Add to lose the children in particular, the misery!
Regards
Georgios

it is absolutely delightful how you captured this pure and intense feeling on camera. Basic smentiments are not something we collect with growing social status. Quite the contrary, the less we have, the more we come to cherish them.

It's a nice double-portrait, I like it. A nice scene between a mother and her child who huddle up against her. I like your PP and the fact that the wall in background is very light, it enhances the woman and her son like this and doesn't disturb our glance. The detail I particularly like is the brightness of the hair of the child.
I like also the fact we don't feel the presence of the photographer.
Well done Mesut. Really a nice shot with good contrasts.

Hello Mesut,
this is extraordinary portrait of mother and the child. An expression in her face is an amazing and the look is nice and a very calm. Fantastic scene in B&W color. Perfectly executed. :):)
All the best and have a nice Sunday,
Barbara

Hello Mesut,
The black and white suits this portrait masterfully composed and performed. The picture is remarkably balanced. I appreciate the contrasts between light and shadow. Bravo.
Have a nice day

Unfortunately the sad one and difficult reality of our current world !!! A very good photograph on this young woman and her child and the choice of the black and white accentuates with emotion the expressions of these two people. A beautiful reality photograph, thank you Mesut.

Hi Mesut, A beautiful portrait & I often say that B/W works best for this type of picture, I think the detail gets drawn out better & the lighting works, here is a great example of that, her expression is lovely & she looks so protective towards the child, A wonderful photo, kind regards Wilson.

This image made me a little sad, but I was struck by how you captured not only a kind of sadness in her and her little boy, but you captured her beauty. She is stunning, yet at the same time you can tell there is something in her mind, something tugging at her.

I am struck too by her features. I am assuming she is a Romany/Gypsy, but I could be wrong, because her features would look perfectly in character in India or Pakistan.

Good evening Mesut,
Nice portrait with excellent sharpness from Bucuresti, a beautiful city I like with welcoming people, without any information about the location, I'll believe you took that picture in India. Hope a bright future for her and her baby
Thanks and have a nice evening
